First, don't refer to girls and women as females when using English. While accurate, it is currently a word tainted in that context by its use among incels and assholes, so it makes it seem like you're one of those.

Unless you’re Ferengi of course. That’s just their culture.

It boils down to the old ‘nature vs nurture’ debate.

Current consensus is that it’s a bit of both. Or, to be more precise (and modern), social factors, biological factors, and psychological factors all interact.

Great podcasts! Has a fair amount of blood, gore and torture though. No criticism but I thought it’d be fair for OP to get a heads up on that.

History is bloody business

Classical music doesn’t necessarily have drums. It might have some percussion but they’re not as prominent as with a lot of pop music.

He’s had that look long before Trump was involved in politics in an any (‘serious’) capacity.

I prefer to think of Donald Trump as ‘American Geert Wilders’.

Wilders been in politics for far longer than the Orange Man has been and he can string together a coherent sentence. His politics are terrible and I hope he fails though.

Sure it shifts the burden to the taxpayer and I would like my tax money to be spent on other things please.

Companies aren’t going to change their policies voluntarily, it’s up to governments to make better decisions with my money and make other options more viable.

Funneling subsidies and tax breaks from fossil fuel to sustainable energy sources. In the Netherlands alone, the around 40 billion euros are spent by the government each year directly or indirectly subsidizing fossil fuel.

Kerosine airplane fuel is untaxed for example, while consumer car fuel comes with a 20% (ish) tax.
